In desperate
pursuit
BY TOM DOUDNEY
Two Selwyn residents charged with receiving stolen property
didnt count on an iPad with a GPS in it leading the police straight
to them.
The iPad was part of the stolen property.
A man and a woman in their early 20s were arrested at a ru-ral
property near Southbridge on
Wednesday, where thousands of dollars worth of stolen items
in-cluding mountain bikes and com-puter equipment were also
located.
They were charged with receiv-ing stolen property, in relation
to the items which police have traced back to three burglaries in
Christ-church.
Sergeant Chris Jones said the items were related to three
burglar-ies in Christchurch. Their com-
bined value was unknown at this stage but he would guess it was
around $5000 or $6000.
However, one stolen item in par-ticular proved priceless. An
Apple iPad, stolen within the two weeks, had had a GPS application
installed by its owner, which allowed police to trace it directly
to the property.
Sergeant Jones said the applica-tion had saved police a lot of
time and effort.
Its a fantastic tool that is not al-ways going to result in
something like this because it depends on a lot of things as to how
specific it can be with location but especially in rural locations
its fantastic because you dont have the line of houses or flats
side by side so it just gives you a great starting point.
The man and woman were due to appear in Christchurch District
Court this week.

IN BRIEF
Central Plains WaterCentral Plains Water Ltd is seek-ing to
extend the amount of land designated for its head race canal by
5.6ha. The changes are to give effect to agreements with
land-owners on which the head race is located. Primarily these
relate to approaches to bridge crossings over the canal where the
filling required commences beyond the existing designation
footprint. District councillors will vote on the matter at
tomorrows meeting.
Hororata HallUrgent repairs are required to weather proof the
Hororata Hall which was damaged in the Sep-tember 2010 earthquake.
Malvern Community Board member Ju-dith Pascoe said the main reason
for urgency was a leak in the roof. The Hororata Citizens
Commit-tee has obtained three quotes for making the building
waterproof and these have been supplied to the district council. A
building consent may also be required.
McHughs Forest Park The McHughs Forest Park working party has
received and considered 81 submissions on the development of the
park. Around half were from Darfield. Key points raised were the
need to separate mountain bikers and walkers and the unsuitability
of horses within the forest. The concerns were around safety and it
was decided tracks for bikers and walkers could be created but that
there was not enough space for separate horse tracks.
BRIGHT SPARK: West Melton School pupil Jackson Bunting has
scored in the top one per cent, nationally, for participants in an
International Competitions and Assessments for Schools exam. ICAS
exams are for year 4 to 8 students and are held on the same day
throughout New Zealand. Jackson received a certificate of high
distinction for science for his results.

BY TOM DOUDNEY
A former senior policeman says Selwyn needs to invest in making
its intersections more visible if it wants to reduce serious
accidents.
Retired senior sergeant Mike Moore is urging the district
council to consider the matter, in conjunc-tion with an audit of
its 14,000 road signs planned for next year.
Meanwhile, police are hinting that a new measure to address the
issue could soon be trialled in the district.
Mr Moore, who lives near West Melton, spent the first 12 of his
36 years in the police stationed at Hornby during which time he
of-ten attended traffic accidents in Selwyn.
It is my contention that a failure to stop at stop signs does
not kill or injure people, Mr Moore said.
What does kill people at these intersections is a complete
failure on the part of the motorist to pay attention to his or her
driving and be aware of the road in front of them.
My years of experience tells me that drivers when questioned as
to why they did not stop at the stop sign, simply responded that
they did not see the intersection, let alone the stop sign.
He believed the answer was to
change the intersection layout by offsetting the intersecting
roads, putting rumble strips across the road and improving signage
so that a driver approaching the inter-section would have a major
visible barrier in front of them instead of a long straight stretch
of road.
Where it has happened, acci-dents have been reduced, he
said.

More than half of the 1115 earth-quake-damaged headstones in
Selwyn cemeteries have now been repaired.
Much of the damage was caused by the magnitude 7.1 September
2010 earthquake, which was cen-tred near Charing Cross, about 10km
from Darfield.
Since the Canterbury earth-quakes, the district council has been
working through a staged programme of cemetery repairs to fix
damaged headstones in public cemeteries.
Repairs to the Lincoln, Green-dale, Springston, Dunsandel,
Brookside, Shands Rd, and Weedons cemeteries have now been carried
out.
With repairs to Shands Rd and Weedons cemeteries recently
com-pleted, 568 (51 per cent) of the dis-tricts headstones have now
been fixed.
The district councils earthquake recovery manager Douglas
Mar-shall said the amount of dam-age which occurred in cemeteries
within Selwyn was quite varied and sites which suffered the most
damage were repaired first.
The cemeteries which suffered the most damage were those with
older graves with ornate monu-ments like Lincoln and the sites
close to the fault line like Green-dale, he said.
The repair technique being used for monuments and graves
in-volves marteen rods being installed which provide a secure
foundation for headstones and monuments.
The rods are extremely strong and after the repairs have been
finished the headstones and monuments are actually stronger than a
newly-built headstone is required to be, so they should be quite
resilient in any future earthquake, Mr Marshall said.
The remaining repairs will be
staged over the next two years and will include the Prebbleton,
Bishops Corner, Killinchy, South Malvern, Kirwee, Kimberley,
Wad-dington, Kowhai Pass, Hororata and Ellesmere Public and
Catholic cemeteries.
Damage to cemeteries was part of the wider infrastructure
damage
that occurred in the earthquakes as roads, bridges, water and
waste-water and community buildings also needed to be fixed. The
ma-jority of infrastructure repairs in Selwyn have now been
completed with all roads, bridges, water and wastewater repairs
finished and most community buildings fixed.
FIXED UP: Shands Rd Cemetery is one of the seven cemeteries
where earthquake repairs have been com-pleted.
Headstones get quake repairs From page 3However, be believed the
cost of
upgrading the intersections could mean that mustering the
political will to implement such measures would be difficult
Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said police were working on a new
ini-tiative to make signage at intersec-tions more obvious.
Very soon, we are going to be trialling something we think might
make a difference.
He wouldnt go into specifics at this stage but said initial
feedback from the district council had been positive and further
details were likely to be available soon. How-ever, he believed
people not com-ing to a complete stop at stop signs was part of the
problem. Police had handed out more than 500 infringement notices
for this since August last year, when they began a campaign
targeting those who failed to stop.
People who exhibit some as-pects of bad behaviours, have bad
behaviours [in general]. So, for people who are a bit slack around
stopping what else do they do? he said.
Urging action on road signs

The name of a Leeston-born World War 1 soldier was read out
recent-ly during the Tower of Londons nightly roll call to
commemorate the outbreak of the war.
Sapper John Harold Snell was born in Leeston but was living in
Kaiparoro in Wairarapa when he left with the New Zealand Engi-neers
for war on April 1915.
Also known as Jack, he died at the age of 25, on January 3,
1918, after being wounded at Ypres in Belgium.
As part of 100th anniversary commemorations of World War
1, 180 names are being read out at the Tower of London, each
night at sunset, while the Last Post is played. Mr Snells name
featured in the roll call on the night of August 12.
The names are read out by a yeo-men standing on a mound in the
middle of a field of ceramic pop-pies, an ongoing art installation
in the towers dry moat.
The name of Mr Snell, whose grave is in Belgiums Lijssenthoek
Cemetery, was put forward by de-scendant Renny Snell who now lives
in Surrey, England.
Renny Snell recently told the Wairarapa Times-Age that he had
got his ancestors name in fairly early in the piece, thank
goodness.
After about 10 days, I was biting my nails, he said. Theres been
an overwhelming response.
He and his wife were among a crowd of around 500 who attended
the roll call, which he described it as an evocative
experience.
John Harold Snell, uncle of Olympic and Commonwealth gold
medallist Peter Snell, served in Gallipoli as well as the Western
Front. He married Ysabel Emslie
during a period of recuperation in England.
However, Renny Snell believes he may have only seen his bride on
one more occasion after the wed-ding, before he was killed.
The poppy installation is part of the Blood Swept Lands and Seas
of Red exhibition which will see 888,246 ceramic poppies placed in
the towers moat, to represent the fallen. The last poppy will be
placed on Armistice Day, November 11.
The exhibition is designed so that it from the air, it looks
like the tower is bleeding.
A master plan for the new West Rolleston Primary School, due to
open in 2016, has been approved and the hunt is on for a
principal.
The master plan, which shows building placement on the site, was
recently signed off by the Ministry of Education. It clears the way
for more detailed design work.
The establishment board of trustees released a statement say-ing
the process for recruiting the foundation principal had begun.
The board is looking for a par-ticular set of characteristics in
this role very much aligned to the focal vision for the board of
sus-tainability, environmental aware-ness, education focused and
un-derstanding the importance of whanau, the statement said.
This role is a unique opportu-nity for a principal that isnt
of-ten available in New Zealand so the board is very confident of a
high calibre of applicants, and has structured the recruitment
process around some very different crite-ria.
Initial discussions with other schools in Rolleston on zoning
had begun.
The focus was on understanding the potential roll numbers for
all schools, which was seen as a chal-lenge considering the high
growth seen in the area in recent months, and the population
projections that were being used.
New school hunts for aparticular principal
POIGNANT: A sea of red ceramic poppies which form part of an art
installation to commemorate World War 1 is seen in the dry moat of
the Tower of London in England. When complete, by November 11, each
poppy will represent a British military death in the war.

Three Christchurch men alleg-edly took stolen quad bikes on a
joyride from Dunsandel to Lin-coln last week.
Police say the quad bikes were stolen from a Dunsandel farm in
the early hours of the morning on August 11.
Three unemployed men in their early 20s were arrested at a
Christchurch address later that day.
One of the men was believed to have previously worked at another
farm near the one from which the quad bikes were sto-len.
Sergeant Chris Jones said one of the bikes had been left in a
ditch halfway between Dunsan-del and Lincoln, while the other two
had been abandoned on the side of the road on the outskirts of
Lincoln after the men came into contact with a Lincoln Uni-versity
security guard.
When the security guard came across these boys he gave them a
fright and they took off, Sergeant Jones said.
The men had their first court appearance last week and were
remanded on bail.
Quad bikes stolen for joyrides
Selwyn residents will soon have the opportunity to visit the
districts new-est sister city Coventry, in Rhode Island, the United
States.
A sister city agreement has recently been signed with the town,
and plan-ning is underway for the first group trip to be arranged
in October 2015. Applications for the visit will open early next
year and further informa-tion about the trip will be released at
that time.
The relationship with Coventry was first established by former
mayor Bill Woods and has been fostered by Sel-wyns sister city
committee. It has now been formalised with the signing of a sister
city agreement.
Mayor Kelvin Coe said Coventry would be Selwyns first
English-speak-ing sister city and he was looking for-
ward to future exchanges between the two areas.
School exchanges and scholar-ship programmes with Selwyns other
sister cities haveenabled Selwyn stu-dents and residents to
experience dif-ferent cultures and allowed people to develop
academic and friendship connections with people from other parts of
the world, Mr Coe said.
In sister city exchanges, visitors typ-ically fund the cost of
the trip them-selves but the host city often arranges homestay
accommodation and makes arrangements for their guests to visit
their district. Regular trips to Cov-entry are planned every second
year in the future, and the first exchange bringing visitors from
Coventry to Selwyn is anticipated in March 2016.
Coventry has a population of
around 35,000. In 2016, the town will celebrate its 275th
anniversary. Coven-try has many old homes, farmhouses, churches and
cemeteries.
Originally an agricultural town, in the 19th-century, several
small textile mills were established in the town, a number of which
still survive today.
Modern Coventry has two distinct parts, a semi-rural western
half and the suburban eastern half which is growing quickly.
Rhode Island is a state in the New England region of the United
States. Rhode Island is not actually a sepa-rate island but it does
have several large bays and inlets, and a number of small islands,
which gives it the title of The Ocean State. It has a popula-tion
of just over one million. Health
services, tourism, and manufacturing are some of the largest
industries in the state.
Rhode Island has a rich history and the state contains around 20
per cent of the countrys historic landmarks. It was the first of
the original 13 colo-nies to declare independence from Britain in
1776.
Newport is known as a sailing centre and a summer resort which
is home to mansions such as The Break-ers, owned by the Vanderbilt
family and Beechwood owned by the Astors.
Coventry will be Selwyns fifth sister city. Other sister cities
and districts are Akitakata-shi and Yubetsu-cho in Japan, Shandan
in China and North Toraja Regency in Indonesia.
THE GENERALS HOUSE: Nathanael Greene Homestead is one of a
number of historic buildings in Coventry. The building dates from
1770 and was the home of Nathanael Greene, one of George
Washingtons most gifted generals. (Right) The Breakers in Newport
is a 30min drive from Coventry and was the summer home of the
Vanderbilt family. The sea front mansion is built in Italian
Renaissance style.

Providing medical treatment for 50 New Zealand Defence Force
personnel deployed to Australias Northern Territory was very much
business as usual for Leading Air-craftman Jessica Earnshaw.
LAC Earnshaw, from Lincoln, was one of two medics in the Roy-al
New Zealand Air Forces 209 squadron deployed to Royal Aus-tralian
Air Force Base Darwin.
The medical team was respon-sible for providing immediate
sup-port to the NZDF contingent par-ticipating in Exercise Pitch
Black 2014, which finished last week.
The three-week exercise was the RAAFs largest multi-national
combat air training exercise this year. The aim was to foster
multi-national partnerships and co-op-eration. Military forces from
six nations were involved in a com-bination of day and night flying
which provided the NZDF with an opportunity to practise deploy-ment
and integration of ground support personnel into coalition
environments.
It was also LAC Earnshaws first overseas exercise with the NZDF,
having spent the first two and a half years of her RNZAF career
training and adding qualifications to the Bachelor of Applied
Science she gained from the Queensland University of Technology
before joining.
These qualifications include an Auckland University of
Technol-ogy diploma in health sciences and graduate diploma in
paramedi-cine, NZDF environmental health courses, and fixed wing
aero medi-cal evacuation and initial air crew search and rescue
courses.
LAC Earnshaw said the exercise gave her the opportunity to
ap-ply the knowledge she had gained during her training, build
relation-ships and compare procedures and systems for providing
medical sup-port with her counterparts in the RAAF.
Im enjoying the opportunity to meet new people and see how an
Australian Air Force medical cen-tre operates and manages the
treat-
ment of their force, she said.Our job is to treat the NZDF
troops, with the medications and equipment we have deployed with
and to transfer them quickly to an Australian Air Force doctor
locat-ed in the medical centre for treat-ment.
Having returned to her Auck-land base, LAC Earnshaws next
as-signment was to travel to Tauranga to compete in the New Zealand
national volleyball competition as a member of the NZDF volleyball
team.
She will round out the year by completing two extramural papers
towards an Auckland University of Technology Bachelor of Health
Science, funded by the NZDF.
GOOD DEEDS: Konor Chamberlain and his fellow Rolleston Ven-turer
Scouts recently organised a food collection from within the group
so they could make weekly do-nations to the Christ-church City
Mission. The Venturers have been working on help-ing others as part
of their journey towards their Queens Scout Award. At bronze level,
Venturers need to help others for 10 hours over 10 weeks and at
silver level this is 15 hours over 15 weeks. The group has
collected 54 brown bags of groceries so far, and the City Mission
has been delighted to receive the donations. Meanwhile, the
Rolleston Kea Scouts have also been working on their helping others
badge by picking up rubbish in Rolleston Reserve. Over two nights
they filled four large black rubbish bags.
OVER THE DITCH: Leading Aircraftman Jessica Earnshaw took part
in a military exercise in Australias Northern Territory.

The management team at Onyx Homes are arguablyunrivaled in the
home building sector. With years ofexperience and having previously
built one of NZs largestnationwide building companies, at which
time had won moreMaster Build Awards than any other company in the
country,home building has become second nature.
Richard Freeman director of Onyx Homes says people needto be
very careful and its a real concern with a lot of these newso
called building companies entering the marketwith management at the
helm with no clue on how abuilding company actually runs. We are
seeing plumbersand electricians starting up building companies here
in
Christchurch to get a foot in the door. People should alwaysgo
with a Registered Master Builder to ensure they are ingood hands
and their asset is well protected.
With the client and their best intentions at the forefront
oftheir company philosophy and a driven passion to get itright
every-time has been the success of Onyx Homes.

BUILDING PERFECTION WITH ONYX HOMESThe biggest point of
difference you will find with Onyx Homes compared to most is you
will NEVER deal with a Sales Consultant.Quality and value are two
words that are misused and abused by Sales Consultants chasing
their commissions by over stating and under proving.At Onyx Homes
you deal directly with the management team and owners Richard
Freeman and Paul West when designing, pricing and building your new
home. This is our business, our livelihood and our reputation and
we ensure we get it right every time states Richard.NO Sales
Consultant means NO sales commissions. Couple that with the fact
they own their own brand and dont pay Franchisee royalties or cost
safety
contingencies due to their superior IT platform Onyx Homes can
save clients up to $23,000.00 before you even start on an average
$300,000 build!!Its a misconception that choosing an off the shelf
standard plan buys you an affordable home. Its very likely the
exact same floor plan will be built time and time again and could
even be built right next door! Onyx Homes believes you should be
unique and build the home that
suits your individual lifestyle and living needs. The truth is
at Onyx Homes their award winning designers will design a custom
floor plan that often costs less than that of a Standard Plan.All
tradesman and suppliers are handpicked and stringently
vetted and have negotiated volume purchasing supply deals to
ensure clients get market leading pricing. The fully managed
project ensures total quality with Onyx Homes standard 15 step
quality inspections throughout the build from start to finish.
Along with this you receive complementary colour consultancy
keeping you on top of the latest trends and colours. You also get
the peace of mind of a full 10 Year Registered Master Builders
Guarantee. Onyx Homes dont strive for excellence, they expect
it!Building your new house shouldnt be stressful; it should be fun
and easy. Onyx Homes ensures this is the case.

HERES THE FACTS Stated by Richard Freeman, Director Onyx Homes
LtdDont believe everything you hear in the media and some building
companies trying to margin enhance making ridiculous
statements about huge building price increases. If you want
genuine best pricing and top quality give Onyx Homes a call. You
are guaranteed to talk to LOCAL industry
professionals with years of experience rather than a sales
person trained over night drafted into the industry with limited
knowledge and zero idea on building costs working off a pre
prepared song sheet. A sad but true statement in many
cases.Honesty, integrity, experience and common sense always
outweighs smoke and mirrors and unfortunately common sense
is not that common in many cases. Building commodity prices ARE
stable, and I will personally guarantee that.
We design your home to suit your site and individual
requirements

The Benchmark Homes Elite Cycle Series burst into life in
Ashburton on August 16, and the Burnham Army cycling team was up
for the chal-lenge.
The team, backed by sponsors Hollands Collision Repair and
Fulton Hogan Burnham, is in its first year of competition and rode
aggres-sively right from the start.
The pace was high, with Gordon MacCauley attacking from the gun
in the 133km elite race.
The army team got caught out by the cross winds and missed the
break of the day, when Jason Allen and Reon Nolan made a
significant push toward the end of the first lap.
With most of the point-scoring positions being taken up by those
up front, the team had to chase, but it was always going to be a
hard task with only four riders work-ing, compared to the 11 in the
break.
Jason Allen, from Scotty Browns Racing Team, won the stage, and
the army had to be content with putting the day down to
experience.

Quick Thai chicken curry for oneUsing a Thai green curry paste
makes this a quick dish to cook curry pastes are available in
sachets or bottles from supermarkets and Asian grocery stores.
Ingredients2 tsp Rice bran oil1 Chicken breast, skinless,
sliced1 Small onion, sliced2 tsp Thai green curry paste2 Tbsp
Water165g Coconut milk, or coconut cream1 to serve Lime, halved
DirectionsHeat a frying pan, add oil and pan-fry skin-
less chicken breast, trimmed and sliced for 5 minutes to brown
on both sides. Remove to one side.
Add sliced onion to the pan and stir-fry to lightly brown. Add
curry paste and gently fry for 1 minute to release flavours.
Add water and mix until smooth, then stir in the coconut milk or
cream.
Return chicken to the pan and simmer very gently (do not allow
to boil) for 5 minutes, stir-ring often.
Stir in fresh coriander and serve with lime wedges on the side
to squeeze over.Chef s tipsThe curry should not need any salt and
pepper as the curry paste is full of strong flavours.
Dont allow the mixture to boil once the coconut milk has been
added or the sauce may separate.
Speedy suppers

Ingredients4 Beef steaks, thick eye fillet or scotch fillet2
Tbsp Olive oil4 Spring onions, finely chopped300g Button mushrooms,
finely sliced4 Tbsp Whisky, scotch1 cup Beef stock3 Tbsp Cream

MONEY
A reader has asked for a quick summary of some quick and easy
ways to save money so we have put to-gether our top five money
saving tips in some money hungry areas.
Motoring1 Reduce your speed and save money. Slowing from 110km/h
to 100km/h will result in a 15 per cent fuel saving, and you will
avoid speeding tickets2 Make sure tyre pressures are right.
According to Be-aurepairs, every 10 per cent under the vehicle
manufac-turers recommended tyre pressure costs about 2.5 per cent
in extra fuel consump-tion.3 Turn off the air condi-tioner and save
about 10 per cent of your fuel consump-tion. A cars air
conditioning system needs power, which comes from the engine. 4
Drive with a soft foot on the pedal. Irregular acceler-ating and
braking uses more fuel. A manic driver will use 25 per cent more
fuel and a fast driver 10 per cent more than a smooth driver.5 Make
sure your vehicle is tuned. A poorly maintained vehicle will
consume five per cent more fuel.Power/gas1 Use the cheapest
sup-plier, based on your needs. A quick and easy way to do that is
using the online Powerswitch calculator www.powerswitch.co.nz. One
reader cut their power bill by $900 a year! 2 For Mr & Mrs
Normal, hot water accounts for over 40 per cent of their
electricity bill. Make sure the thermostat on your hot water
cylinder is not set too high. 50 deg C to 60 deg C is sufficient.3
A cold water wash in the washing machine costs about 10 per cent of
the cost of a hot water wash.4 Eliminate draughts around windows
and floors.
About 12 per cent of the heat of a household is lost through
windows. Leaky window and door joinery can be sealed with sealants
or a self-adhesive foam strip and well-made, full-length curtains
or thermal drapes will minimise loss. Because a lot of air is lost
around the edges, the curtains should extend 150mm on each side,
and below the base of the window. Heavy drapes are more heat
efficient than blinds. Scout around for a cheap material that could
save on your heating costs.
5 Install a ceiling fan in rooms with an open fire. It will
increase the comfort level and circulate the heat that gets trapped
on the ceiling. Property1 Double to the life-span of paintwork on
weather-boards by washing it once a year. 2 Learn how to do basic
repairs. First step read the manual! If that fails, try YouTube
which has literally thousands of DIY uploaded videos on how to fix
anything and everything. One oily ragger says they saw how to
change a wash-ing machine hose before YouTube they would have just
phoned the plumber.3 If you have not yet bought a home, enrol in
KiwiSaver to receive the substantial subsidies available. 4 Rather
than build a home and take on a huge mort-gage, build the shell and
fit
out the interior as you can afford to do so. Or build something
small and add on as the family grows.5 Buying an existing home is
usually cheaper than building new, but be careful if it requires
lots of work. Food1 Unbranded products are on average 36 per cent
cheaper than the same branded products. That will save the average
family about $50 a week, or $2600 a year.2 Grow your own. It really
is dead simple. You dont even need much space. One oily ragger has
made a garden out of car tyres. They simply lay a tyre flat on the
ground and fill it with soil. For bigger plants they stack on
another tyre and top it up with soil. Easy, and portable. 3 Milk is
milk. Buy house brands, discount brand, or an independent brand
rather than the premium brands. Alternatively, make your own from
powdered milk.4 Buy fresh fruit and veg-etables directly from local
growers, orchards, or look for bargains at the local growers
market. Buy whats cheap and plentiful and preserve for use later.5
Stock or pantry with bargain buys and make meals using what you
have in stock. You will always be feasting cheap.

MoneyLets stalk about broccoli
We think vegetables from your
own garden are delicious anyway,and one does not need to have
theexcuse of a fasting diet to enjoythem.
I
TSbeen awhile sincewetalked about the joys ofcooking vegetables,
sowethought it time to have a
little bit of a catch-up.Wewerereminded about it whenlistening
to the author of a newbook advocating a fruit andvegetable diet for
two days aweek as ameans to betterhealth.We think
vegetablesfromyour own garden aredelicious anyway, and one doesnot
need to have the excuse of afasting diet to enjoy them.
Lilley has a favourite recipefor using up tough broccolistems in
a soup. Youwill need:1 onion (diced), 1 large broccolistalk
(diced), any left overbroccoli florets, 1 large potato, 1vegetable
stock cube dissolvedin 2 cupswater, 1 tsp butter, 1/4cupmilk or
cream, 1/4 cupcheese (optional), salt andpepper. Saute onion in
butteruntil clear. Add broccoli andpotato. Coverwith vegetablestock
and simmer for 30minutes until very tender.Blend and season.
Reheatwitha littlemilk or cream. Sprinklewith cheese if you
like.
Another reader has afavourite lemon butter toppingfor broccoli.
Simply add 12tbsp of lemon juice to 115g ofmelted butter.Mix in a
littlesalt and pepper to taste. Stirtogether and pour over
cookedbroccoli. Serve immediately.
What about these tips forgreen beanswith a difference.Slice the
beans and cook inwater. Add a packet of onionsoupmix and
slicedmushrooms. Delicious!
Another greatway to cookalmost any vegetable is astempura, which
is a classicJapanese dish of deep friedbattered vegetables
(likezucchini, onions, eggplants,carrots, green peppers,
sweetpotatoes, string beans, broccoli,mushrooms). Vegetableswith
avery highwater content aregenerally not suitable,however, as they
tend to releasewater into the batterwhilecooking. The veges need to
becut thin enough to cook in thesame time it takes the batter
tobecome crispy.
Tomake the batter you need1 cup plain flour, 1 egg, and 1cup ice
coldwater. Beat the eggin a bowl and stir in the icedwater. Add the
flour andmixlightlywith awooden spoonhandle or chopstick to
avoidovermixing (having lumps inthe batter is a hallmark
oftempura). Dip in the vegetablesand deep fry in clean oil at180C,
turning occasionally
until the batter is crisp andlight golden. Eat immediatelyafter
cooking, while the batteris still crispy.With agarnishing of rock
salt, lemonor lime juice, orwith dips,tempura is awonderful
starter.It can also be used as a sidedish, especiallywith fish.
Lorraine has a tip forsilverbeet. This is a usefulway to use as
little or asmuchsilverbeet as you like. I use fourleaves of
silverbeet choppedfinely in a battermixture of 3/4cup flour and
1& 1/2 tsp bakingpowder.Whisk 1 or 2 eggs, addflour and baking
powder, andmilk to thin, then the greens.Fry in a little hot oil.
Its lovelywith tomato sauce, whichshould appeal to children.
Kris has a tip for orangepeel. I dont like to throw
things away. I even recyclecitrus peel! I dry the peel on
aplatewhen using the oven.After it is dry I grate or crush itand
store the spice in anairtight jar and use it in bakingto add
flavour.
DB says, When vegetablesbecomewilted (carrots,broccoli, lettuce,
beets, celery,etc) trim the stem end slightlyand soak the limp
vegetable inwarmwater for an hour ormore. Youwill find
thevegetableswill become firmand fresh ready for use.

Shoulder injuries often start with the simplest aggravation
reaching behind the seat while driving to grab something, lifting a
child from a car seat, pulling out that garden root that just wont
let go, reaching out to get a bag of shopping that is heavier than
you thought.
Initially there may be some pain in and around the shoulder and
simple activities above shoulder level are hard to do i.e. hanging
out the washing or behind the back doing up a bra strap. We are
often finding that people just hope that it will go away sometimes
it does and more often it doesnt.
3 months plus after the injury when the pain has not gone away
and the stiffness through the shoulder is increasing, and often
sleeping at night is become more difficult due to general aching
pain then people will end up on our doorstep.
Frequently what started as a simple shoulder rotator cuff strain
is heading down the path of what is known as an adhesive capsulitis
or frozen shoulder. While these can be managed and treated
effectively with joint mobilisation, exercises to strengthen the
shoulder muscles and acupuncture it would be better if a simple
strain did not end up on this path just because the pain did not go
away and it has been left for some time before the patient seeks
help.
A shoulder injury as like many others treated effectively from
an early stage are significantly easier to manage. Often simple
advice around activities to continue with while the shoulder injury
is healing to prevent what we call secondary injuries i.e frozen
shoulder may be all that is required. Once a shoulder particularly
starts to get stuck it can be managed but does take a lot more time
that if it had been seen from the outset.
If you get a shoulder injury and it
is not settling within 10 days a visit to your physio is
recommended so that they can advise what activities are safe to do
to ensure continued movement and strength while the shoulder is
healing. If indicated the physiotherapists are able to refer on to
specialists for review if it is considered appropriate and
necessary.
If you already have one of those shoulders that started out as a
simple sprain that has got increasingly stiff, painful at night and
is not allowing you to do what you normally would the sooner it is
reviewed by a physiotherapist the better.
With any injury if it is not settling by itself, or what you are
doing at home to help settle it down within a week at the outside
the sooner that it is reviewed and assessed by a physiotherapist
the better. Often simple assessment and advice at the start of an
injury, can prevent the need for extensive treatment later as
something has got stuck!!

What makes them successful? They have evolved over time and have
responded to the
different demographic changes since 1877. They are located in
neighbourhoods; they cater for
families and respond to community needs. They are staffed by
highly trained teachers who know
curriculum levels from level 1 5 who have had the same teacher
training as teachers in other year 7 and 8 school types.
Teachers in the students current full primary school know about
individual students learning progress and learning style from year
1 8.
Developing the whole child, flexibility, nurture, innovation and
child centered learning sum up full primary schools.
Year 7 and 8 intermediate age students are the leaders and role
models along with the adults in a full primary school.
School organisation in a full primary school fits the needs of
students not the timetable.
All year 7 and 8 students are included in leadership
opportunities, sporting opportunities, school community job
opportunities, buddy responsibilities and role model expectations.
They are seen by others in the school as the leaders and younger
students to look up to them.
These opportunities and strategies to build leadership, key
competencies and resilience are available to all intermediate age
children in a full primary.

Aroha ki te tangata, te tuahiwi ki te whai aoRespect: the
foundation for future success
Parents of year 6 students are encouraged to take a good look at
their childs full primary school when choosing schooling for 2015.
Why change schools when you dont need to? Full Primary schools are
tried and tested and have developed in innovative and cost
effective ways since their inception in 1877. They are as important
to the provision of education in 2015 as they were in 1877.
What does the research tell us about the learning needs of Year
7 and 8 students? Curriculum that is relevant, challenging,
integrative, and exploratory Multiple learning and teaching
approaches Assessment and evaluation programs that
promote quality learning Organizational structures that
support
meaningful relationships and learning Educators who value
working with the
age group Courageous, collaborative leadership School-wide
efforts and policies that foster
health, wellness, and safety Multifaceted guidance and support
services School-initiated family and community
partnerships
Looking at the above list it becomes clear that it isnt school
type or school architecture that makes the difference for
intermediate age children. It is instead the learning and the
attitude of professionals to this cohort of students. This can
happen in any school setting as long as the leadership, teachers
and non-teaching staff are committed. Full Primary Schools are
providers of intermediate aged education in every way that other
types of schools are.

And alsoThe research also provides insight into what works for
intermediate age children: Ministry of Education by Dinham and Rowe
of the Australian Council for Educational Research. 2007 From the
broader teaching and learning literature,
there is strong evidence that the quality of teaching which
students receive at all levels and stages of schooling is of major
importance in influencing achievement outcomes for students.
While productive and positive student-teacher relationships are
identified as an important characteristic of highly performing
schools catering for middle years students, it needs to be
acknowledged that good teachers and school leaders at all levels of
schooling is what works.
It is therefore debateable whether at least some aspects of the
philosophy and enactment of middle schooling is any different from
good teaching and effective schooling generally in all school
types.
The literature is clear in advocating middle schooling
approaches focusing on quality teaching and enhanced learning
rather than on school type. Therefore it is what happens in the
classroom to support learning and what happens across the school to
cater for the specific developmental, cognitive, physical,
emotional and social needs of intermediate age children that makes
the difference. Not school type. The research on middle schooling
and its implications to provision of quality education to year 7
and 8 students is as applicable to full primary schools as it is
for other intermediate schooling types.

HEALTH
It is the pill for almost every ill.
We have known for well over a decade that aspi-rin prevents some
types of cancer (and may even help treat them) as well as diabetes,
dementia, preg-nancy complications and, of course, pain.
It is the most versatile drug in the pharmacy.
So why are we not all taking it? Because scientists have been
uncertain wheth-er its benefits outweigh its drawbacks. Aspirin
irritates the gut lining sometimes causing bleeding and peptic
ulcers. Rarely, this can be fatal.
A study from Cancer Research UK appears to resolve the dilemma.
Aspirin cuts deaths from at least three common cancers by up to
half, while the risk of a lifethreatening stom-ach bleed is very
low. As Professor Jack Cuzick, lead researcher, put it: It is a
good bet.
Within hours, however, Cancer Research UK was rowing back from
this posi-tion. Dr Julie Sharp, head of health information,
warned
important questions need to be answered before it could be
recommended, including what was the best dose and who is likely to
suffer side effects.
Back to square one, then. Is Cancer Research UK
fearful of being seen to promote the medicalisation of
society?
The row over statins, or anticholesterol drugs, has stirred
anxieties that we
are seeking medical fixes for unhealthy lifestyles. Of course,
we should stop smoking, eat better and exercise more. But is
prescribing a daily statin or aspirin qualitatively different from
vaccinating healthy people?
It depends what you think medicine is for treating the sick or
keeping people healthy. The answer should be: both.
